Clause 24
Finance Bill
5:15 pm

Graham Stuart (Beverley and Holderness, Conservative)
All the outside experts tell us that it takes time, as my hon. Friend said, to plan capital investment. There seems to be no rationale for doubling the relief in this financial year rather than the one following, when it would have a far more positive effect. Cynics outside view it as having more to do with the electoral cycle than the business cycle.
